5. Hardware Installation
The following section describes the hardware features of
POE-171A series. Before connecting any network device to it,
please read this chapter carefully.
5.1 Before Installation
Before your installation, it is recommended to check your
network environment. If there is any IEEE 802.3bt device that
needs to be powered on and works normally, the POE-171A
series provides you with a way out to supply power to this
Ethernet device conveniently and easily. The POE-171A series is
equipped with a power adaptor which is 100-240V AC input and
injects DC 52V~56V power into the pin of the twisted pair cable
(pair 1/2 [-], 3/6 [+] and pair 4/5 [+], 7/8 [-]).
5.2 POE-171A series Installation
1. Connect the AC power adaptor to
“52-56V DC IN”
of POE-
171A series; the
“PWR”
LED will be steadily on.
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from an Ethernet switch or
PC workstation to
“Ethernet”
port of POE-171A series.
3. Connect the long cable to
“EDC”
port.
4. Connect with IEEE 802.3af/at/bt devices. Due to the capa-
bility of IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Power over Ethernet, the POE-
171A series can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3af/at/bt
end-nodes, such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) network cameras,
PTZ speed dome, color touch screen, Voice over IP (VoIP)
telephones and multi-channel wireless LAN access points
which support IEEE 802.3af/at/bt In-line Power over Ethernet
port. The screen in Figure 3 appears.
